Just when I thought that everything is gonna be better from now on and easier, we found out that my father-in-law was very sick. Yes, so sick that he can’t drink the bottle of vodka that we had gotten him during Father’s Day. That was when it hit me that he was very very sick. My FIL never refused vodka – any kind to be exact for the 21 years that I’ve known him, so when he told me he cannot stomach the vodka, I knew there and then that something was really wrong. My gut feeling wasn’t good at all about it.
Fast forward, he did go to the hospital, had brain surgery for his tumor behind his head, didn’t wake up immediately but finally did, gave us a huge scare. We headed up to the city immediately to visit him, he recovered from that and came back to the hospital in town. Was doing so so well, and they discharged him and less than 10 days was back in the hospital by ambulance because he didn’t have the strength to lift himself up.
After much tests, they concluded that he had a c. difficile virus that attacked his colon. It was a wicked virus and my FIL fought the virus as best as he could. I know that till the end, he wanted to make it and he left us on the 9th August 2021.
